The charge relates to a sexual assault alleged to have
happened more than a decade ago. The 78-year-old comedian
previously admitted under oath that he had sexual contact with
the woman, as part of the lawsuit she filed claiming that
Cosby drugged her and forced himself on her at his home near
Philadelphia in 2004.

The woman, former Temple University employee Andrea
Constand, reported the alleged assault in 2005.

When Constand first met Cosby, she was the director of operations
for Temple's women's basketball team. They developed a friendship
and Constand came to see Cosby as a mentor, according to the
affidavit. He reportedly offered her career advice, introduced
her to people, and invited her to events.

Several months after they met, Cosby allegedly invited
Constand to his house for dinner. After dinner, she and
Cosby were sitting on his sofa when he "without warning ...
reached over and touched her pants, her waist, and her inner
thigh," according to the affidavit.

She then got up to leave, and Cosby gave her a bottle of perfume,
according to the affidavit.

"The victim was embarrassed by this encounter," the document
states. "She never thought he would hit on her, especially since
Cosby is much older than her father."

A second alleged incident occurred during another visit to
Cosby's home. Constand reportedly drank a couple of glasses
of wine and was talking to Cosby when "out of the blue," he
"unbuttoned her pants and began touching her."

Constand "leaned forward to stop him," at which point he got up
and went to his kitchen, the affidavit says. She left soon after.

Still, Constand continued socializing with Cosby. In early 2004,
Cosby called Constand and invited her to his home to "talk about
[Constand's] future career plans," according to the affidavit.

"Cosby added that no one else would be present and that she
should dress in comfortable clothing," the document states.

When Constand got to Cosby's house, she reportedly confessed that
she felt "drained" and he told her that he wanted her to relax.

"Within the next ten to fifteen minutes, Cosby went upstairs and
the victim went to the bathroom," the affidavit states. "The
victim told police that when Cosby returned from upstairs, he had
three blue pills in his hand. Cosby urged her to take the pills,
saying to her, '[t]hese will make you feel good.' The blue things
will take the edge off.'"

Constand reportedly asked if the pills were herbal, and Cosby
allegedly replied, "'Yes. Down them. Put 'em down. Put them in
your mouth.'" Constand reportedly told Cosby that she trusted
him, and then took the pills.

Here's how the rest of the incident played out, according to the

Constand's mother reportedly noticed a difference in her daughter
the next time she returned home. Constand reportedly seemed
isolated and suffered from nightmares. Eventually, in January
2005, Constand told her mother about the alleged assault.
Her family then reported the incident to police in Canada, where
her parents lived at the time.

Cosby eventually spoke to Constand's mother on the phone and
admitted to the sexual contact, according to the affidavit. He
reportedly offered to cover any therapy expenses. Cosby
reportedly called Constand's mother again the next day and
"expressed interest in assisting the victim financially with any
educational goals."
